Captain America (comics)/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Cap is one of the friendliest, most easygoing guys you'll ever meet. Granted, once you piss him off...

* [[Big Good]]

* [[Cannot Talk to Women]]: Sometimes...

* [[The Cape]]

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]

* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]

* [[Indy Ploy]] -- In contrast with Steve's [[Crazy Prepared]]-ness, his tactical sensibilities often manifested as this when he became Cap.

* [[Kid Sidekick]] Kinda subverted; he fit the mould in the 40's, but Ed Brubaker's [[Retcon]] introduced the idea that this was just a cover story, and that he was really the advance scout and go-to guy for the dirty jobs that Cap couldn't/''wouldn't'' be seen doing.

=== Demolition Man (Dennis Dunphy) ===

* [[Alliterative Name]]: His real name as well as Demolition Dunphy

* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: They gave him his powers, but messed him up bad.

* [[Hollywood Heart Attack]]

* [[Joker Immunity]]

* [[Legacy Character]]: There have been 4 Red Skulls. Technically, Johan Schmidt is actually the second; the original Red Skull was a Nazi spy who was retconned into being one of Schmidt's agent. The third was a [[Dirty Communist]], and the 4th is the Skull's own daughter.

* [[The Social Darwinist]]: He has abandoned Nazism (it was "out of date"), but he still believes in a world where the strong rule and bully the weak.

* [[The Sociopath]]

* [[Patrick Stewart Speech]]: Horrifically inverted when the Red Skull is feeling depressed and Crossbones tries to cheer him up by reminding him of all his evil accomplishments.

* [[Post-Rape Taunt]]: Poor Diamondback.

* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: They aren't married, but Crossbones and Sin have a thing for each other.

 

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: She may [[Aborted Arc|or may not]] have been granted a supernatural lifespan by the demon Chthon, and have originally been a woman who died in 1931.

* [[Rogues Gallery Transplant]]: If she's not fighting Cap she's probably fighting [[Wolverine]], though she's tangled with most of Marvel's other heroes by now, and once believed she was the mother of the first [[Spider Woman]].

 

=== Syn / {{spoiler|Red Skull IV}} ===
